TOC, or Total Organic Carbon, measures the amount of carbon found in organic compounds within a water sample. It indicates the concentration of naturally occurring or human-made organic substances, which can impact water quality. High TOC levels can support the growth of bacteria and influence the effectiveness of water treatment processes. The measurement helps assess water purification needs and monitor contamination. Essentially, TOC provides a snapshot of organic pollution in water, serving as an important parameter for environmental monitoring, drinking water safety, and regulatory compliance.
